As Geraldo

The title Geraldo was used on the first 9 seasons. It led to Newsweek's characterization as "Trash TV". The show had many guests during it's long run including Dionne Warwick, Tanya Harding, Gary Coleman, Bern Nadette Stanis, Jeanne White Ginder (mother of AIDS activist Ryan White), Kathy Garver, Diandra Newlin, Peter Tork, Howard Stern, Alison Stern, Margaux Hemingway among many others.

Although public perceptions in the show's first season were leading to this dubious title, the episode that solidified Geraldo as "Trash TV" was a November 1988 episode involving Nazi skinheads, anti-racist skinheads, black activists, and Jewish activists. A confrontation between the guests led to a full-out fist fight, in which several stage hands and Rivera himself attempted to break it up. In the process, Rivera was punched in the face and wound up with a broken nose. Geraldo's injured face graced the covers of nearly every magazine and tabloid publication in America.

From that point on, the less graceful side of society's issues, and juicy celebrity exposes were the norm, but no other future incident matched the heated brawl of season two. Geraldo's symbol in the grand scale of talk shows became typified by what opened each show: the image of a generic tabloid magazine cover displaying images of the day's subject with a screaming headline accompanied by the show's scripted logo (Geraldo's handwritten signature). This practice paved the way for later talk shows using creative and somewhat drawn-out titles for their show topics (The Jerry Springer Show, Jenny Jones and Ricki Lake were among the programs to jump on this bandwagon).

By 1995, with the program only being perceived as merely tabloid in nature rather than trashy, Geraldo was about to have its early history overshadowed by the talk show that defied all boundaries; The Jerry Springer Show is considered by the masses today to truly being "Trash TV" with its amount of fights and bawdy behavior.

As The Geraldo Rivera Show

From 1996 to its retirement in 1998, it was known as The Geraldo Rivera Show, and changed from the established tabloid format to a more stubbed, serious show. Gone was the opening checkout-counter tabloid graphic, replaced with a full opening sequence that played up Rivera's caring and sensitive nature (in one shot, he is locking lips passionately with his then-wife). Summer 1996 promos for the new season showed Rivera also playing with his two young daughters. He was seen in a 1997 PSA about children. It was similar to the old Geraldo title.
